Fibre Channel electrical interface
OverviewFibre Channel signal characteristicsFibre Channel connector pinoutsExternal links
Fibre channel electrical signals are sent over a duplex differential interface. This usually consists of twisted-pair cables with a nominal impedance of 75 ohms (single-ended) or 150 ohms (differential). This is a genuine differential signalling system so no ground reference is carried through the cable, except for the shield. Signalling is AC-coupled, with the series capacitors located at the transmitter end of the link. The definition of the Fibre Channel signalling voltage is complex. Eye-diagrams are defined for both th
